Description

This article will discuss what Universal Type Server and Client directories which will need to be excluded from antivirus software to ensure Universal Type Server and Universal Type Clients run properly.

Solution

You should add the UT-Server and Client databases, vault and backup folders to your anti-virus solution's exception list. Below is a list of default locations and another that shows where to check for custom locations.

Universal Type Server Default Locations are:

Windows: The default locations are:

C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type Server\data\backups

C:\Program Files\Extensis\Universal Type Server\data\vault

C:\ProgramData\Extensis\UTS\pgdata

Mac: The default locations are:

/Applications/Extensis/Universal Type Server/data/backup

/Applications/Extensis/Universal Type Server/data/vault

/Library/Extensis/UTS/pgsql

Custom Locations:

To check if your UT-Server is using custom locations, log into the UT-Server Server Administration web application (default port 18081) and look under:

Datastore -> Database (Enterprise edition only)

Datastore -> Move/New

Datastore -> Schedule Backups

*************************************

Universal Type ClientDefault locations are:

Mac: The default location is:

/Library/Extensis/UTC/

The Universal Type Client application in /Applications should also be excluded from scanning; Universal Type Client copies its auto-activation plug-ins out of the application bundle during installation.
